Will the Pittsburgh Steelers be a top 5 red zone team in 2021 after finishing 11th overall in that category in 2020? Time will certainly tell if they will be, and it is undoubtedly the hope they have and especially with Matt Canada now installed as the team’s new offensive coordinator. Additionally, the Steelers spent their first two 2021 draft picks on skill position players in running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth and both should help the offense out in several areas and especially inside the red zone.
While most of the attention has been on Harris since the draft ended, and with good reason, Freiermuth also figures to contribute quite a bit during his 2021 rookie season and especially inside the red zone, where he was great his entire college career at Penn State.
